heatherb1958 Posted September 30, 2013 #1632 Share Posted September 30, 2013 We just sailed for 28 nights on Adventure with Captain Henrik , sailed with him many times on Brilliance but on Adventure he was a hoot. He visited the Concierge lounge many times. Including the overspill one and chatted with everyone. He also had autograph sessions in the photo gallery . We had an 'alternative' Captain's table on both cruises one being at Johnny Rockets, it was fun and he danced! On the second cruise he asked me if I had posted about the Johnny Rocket's night on Cruise Critic to which I said no as I was being discreet , he laughed and said to post about it. So for anyone sailing soon ask him how you get invited and please say "Hi" from Heather. He always seemed to find me in the Schooner bar:).

cruzinlady1947 Posted October 3, 2013 #1639 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Captain MacDonald is taking over the Explorer as of Nov. as per crew on Explorer. What ship was Captain MacDonald on previously? Any opinions of him as a Captain? Just curious. We will be on the Explorer in Dec. I will certainly miss Capt. Olav. Such a nice person. Of course Capt. Loy is very easy on the eyes.........;) and nice too. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyntonBeth Posted October 4, 2013 #1641 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Karen, I'll be boarding Adventure Oct 13 which seems to be the start of week #10 in the current rotation.

If my chart is wrong you'll have to report back so I can correct it.

rubrrick Posted October 5, 2013 #1643 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'll jump into this thread, to say that in my travels with Royal Caribbean, on longer voyages, there have been 3 times, where, somewhere in the middle of a cruise, one Master has left the ship, and the reliever has taken over. And once, when a captain was relieved of his job with Royal Caribbean......forever! That happened in the Norwegian Fjords, some years ago. I don't know if you are saying that Captain Per Kristoffersen left the ship during a voyage, or at the end of the voyage. When we have been aboard with him, he has done both.......mid voyage, and end of the voyage. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
